As you can see the nice folks at Topps did a vivid paint job on the cap logo, then desaturated, or muted, the lid once laid out on the card.
Colborn was traded to the Brewers on December 3rd of 1971 along with Brock Davis and Earl Stephenson for infielder Jose Cardenal.
It would turn out to be a nice trade for Milwaukee, as Colborn would go on to post a 20-12 record in 1973, making the All-Star team while posting an earned run average of 3.18 with four shutouts.
He would post double-digit wins the next two seasons, though “only” 10 and 11 respectively, before finishing 9-15 in 1976.
Nevertheless, with a combined 57 wins between 1972 and 1976, he certainly was no slouch during his tenure there.
By the time he’d retire after the 1978 season, Colborn finished with a record of 83 and 88, with an ERA at 3.80 over 301 appearances and 1597.1 innings of work.
